Elite Dance Callenge was founded in 2010 by Sandra Walsh. Since selling her dance studio in 2008, she combined her experience as a travel consultant, dance instructor, dancer, pageant judge, and event planner, to embark on running Elite Dance Challenge - which is now in its 5th year!

Dance studios enjoy using Dance Comp Genie software. It is easy to use. If they have used it before then all of their dancer's names & information are stored for them. If they are attending another competition that is using DCG software they can transfer their routines with a click of a button!

Sandra Walsh

"I was so shy growing up that if someone talked to me I'd hide my face so my mom started me dancing at age 2. By age 8, I was given my first solo, which was a rarity at my studio. By age 13, I began teaching.

In college, I studied Travel and Tourism and also taught at a second dance studio. To earn money for college, I completed in the Miss Massachusetts and Miss Rhode Island America Pageants. In later years, I became a certified judge and ran local pageants.

After graduating from college, I was chosen by Brown University to be a dance educator. In 1998, I opened my own Dance Studio and our competition team traveled around the country competing and performing."
